Assistant Professor of Counseling

Ph.D., 2012, Idaho State University
M.Coun., 2007, Idaho State University
B.S., 1996, University of Wyoming

Hello! I am looking forward to my transition back to Idaho
and joining the rest of the faculty in the Department of
Counseling at ISU. I will be bringing my interests in
experiential learning and social justice to the table and hope
to build collaborations that will strengthen our profession
and serve the diverse needs within the university and
community.

I have spent the last two years as a full-time faculty member
at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL. As an assistant
professor, I have consistently engaged in individual and group
supervision of masterís and doctoral students, taught
CACREP-core and CMHC specialization courses, and supervised
practicum and internship experiences. I have enjoyed
presenting on my research interests here in the United States
and in Malaysia. My presentations have varied from an
introduction to supervision to research on live supervision
and social justice within supervision.

In addition to my work as a counselor educator, I have been a
licensed professional counselor for seven years and
particularly enjoy working with college students, couples, and
individuals presenting with mood disorders. I enjoy spending
my free time with my family in the great outdoors. I have
found the forests and rivers in Idaho to be my primary source
for self-care!
